By skyforbes My 85 year old dad is stage 4 kidney disease and legally blind. He currently lives with my sister in West Palm. She is struggling because he is a lot, needs help dressing, bathroom and preparing food. We’d like to move him into a facility in Charlotte County where he is from and where my other sister lives.
He has no assets, $1900 a month SS, and less than $2,000 in his checking account because he pays her rent.
She went online to apply for Medicaid to place him in a facility. They denied it, ranked him a 3 out of 5 in terms of criteria.
In talking to the Agency for Aging in Florida, they indicated that he isn’t a priority because he has a place to live (with her) and assistance (her). But she is tapped out and can’t do it anymore.
Any advice is really appreciated. Private pay assisted living isn’t an option for us. How do we get him approved?
